Mitsuki - Art School Journey (+ Animations)

Wow the example cityscape you show, yeah very detailed. Maybe even too much if you aim at making comics - time wise. But could be a cool project just for the hell of it or maybe a comic cover

Foreshortening and hands look good. Really like what you’re doing with the stairs and platforms.

Now this is probably not important in the grand scheme of a comic background as it might be more work for less payoff, but if you were aiming for full accuracy would the stairs that start changing direction near the top change to two point perspective (would look like they slope down towards the right?

Cheers

Awesome design, mitsuki! Good work!

mitsuki-youko 2022-12-04 18:12:39 UTC #245

do you mean these?

or the half hidden ones?

if its the half hidden ones they're meant to go "forward" x axis wise - its not a spiraling staircase. but great question

Yeah though im hoping to get to the point where i can draw enviros like that in like less than 8 hours.

Thanks so much i also felt like i got better at drawing foreshortening with this one

oh btw this is not rly for a comic rn its just a background that i can use to post my first epic song that i made

Yes the ones up top. Good stuff cheers!

I quite like the background I think it is very interesting and colorful. So colorful and constrasting that I think the building in the back right comes out as the focal point of the piece. It has super saturation and super contrast, even more than your characters so I think it is stealing the show from them a bit. You might consider desaturating objects in the background and reducing the contrast to create the effect that they are further away, maybe something like this. Take this all with a grain of salt, Idon't have a ton of exprience here but thought this might help. Really love your piece it turned out really well!

Eyyy thank you @Lockenheim

I did end up desaturating the bg a little bit i think. took out the hover car and hoverboarding person cuz i got lazy lol

Aight. here's the piece i finished today, along with my very first epic music that i made last week

Song:

That's really cool! loving the effects too

cheers

This piece looks amazing! I love the colors (especially the stairs ^.^ ) and the dynamic in the characters 😄

Aight, for the sake of the 3d Assignment, i made a sculpt of a random creature:

I'm not super into 3d so didn't spend too much effort on these lol

I cheated a little and instead of using sculpting i just smashed everything together with 3d primatives instead

I made the futuristic barrel thing from a few posts back:

I used to dabble in 3d animation back in college a few years ago (apparently its been 5 years since college according to when i uploaded those vids XD wtf where did the time go LMAO):

prinzmoana 2022-12-06 21:23:19 UTC #252

The squirrel video is dope 👌

snakker 2022-12-06 21:54:02 UTC #253

Wow those look quite complex good stuff
I like the creature so far, maybe you shouldn’t discard 3d altogether, it could always prove a useful tool even for a 2D artist

Cheers

mitsuki-youko 2022-12-07 01:57:34 UTC #254

tru, if i have time though i'd do more 3d modeling for bgs instead of sculpting tho. I may use 3d in the future but most likely only for buildings and stuff

clothing a figure:

prinzmoana 2022-12-08 02:27:37 UTC #256

The colors and forms look very pleasing 😄
Maybe the shadows of some folds could be a bit darker :}
Also the sweatband is a nice touch to her personality👌

snakker 2022-12-08 04:02:11 UTC #257

Looking good 👍

Yesterday and Today's Term 4 Armz/Legz muscle study.. - transitioned smoothly from term 3 to term 4.

Arms are harder to draw than legs!

My anatomy notes:

(Beginning of Not my art) - hope these help for you as well

I based my notes off of these (found these on google NOT my art:)

(End of Not my art)

Nice, these studies look fun!

prinzmoana 2022-12-11 02:25:30 UTC #260

So many different poses and angles
It's very helpful to see your notes, and thank you for sharing the other notes too :3

smudged_ink 2022-12-11 17:55:03 UTC #261

These are some lovely studies, your doing great

Started working on this assignment:

I've got some character outfits i need to design for my story as well so utilizing that to do both.

Started setting up the body template for Maxus (making like 4 other maxus outfits for different backstory arcs - its gonna be the usual 4 views for each outfit.)

Since i had a skeleton ready i was like hey i should add muscles to that before i do the lineart for good practice.

And because i practiced the torso muscles like 60 times and the arms and legs like 30 times each (previous post ^) I remembered all the muscles! drew these without looking at my notes - straight from memory

Well there was actually one that i forgot which is the muscle that sits on top of these (the yolk colored ones.):

here are all the sketches i have so far - side view is surprisingly hard to draw for me still lol
